Whales on the reef are singing, and silver silk threads are criss-crossed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the saying goes, the mountains ...... Ahem, there is no time in the sea, and it has been a thousand years in the world.

Although it is not as exaggerated as a thousand years, it must have been a few days......

Beneath the rippling blue sea, a large shadow slowly drifts through the water, and the colorful exterior looks particularly beautiful in the sunlight shining through the shallow water.

Reef Swim.

Although similar in appearance to coral reefs, the composition of the reef is very different from that of a coral reef. The reef is a porous, loose structure with a complete pipeline system inside that allows for flexible steering. The density of the material that makes up the reef is actually very small, and the density of this strange material, which is entirely secreted by microorganisms, is only slightly greater than that of seawater.

As a result, large reefs are able to float in the sea and migrate with the combined efforts of large-scale microbial colonies.

Migration in search of high-density nutrient distribution~ But in fact, this is not only the purpose......

……

Xinglan was lying on the reef, not because she was too lazy to move, but because she had not eaten for several days after the shell injury, the body of the horseshoe crab was almost immobile.

Although he knew that if he went to eat, he could survive even if he was injured for a long time, but on the one hand, Xinglan was absolutely unwilling to eat that disgusting food in person, and on the other hand, it was far away from the coastline, and there was no kind of slow-moving sand sponge, Xinglan really didn't know what the horseshoe crab could eat......

After all, the horseshoe crab is an amphibian creature on the beach, and no tide horseshoe crab has ever run this far without a hitch...... The creatures of the deep seas are not so easy to catch......

However, thanks to the strong vitality of these primitive creatures, if a human had not eaten for several days, it is estimated that they would not be able to think clearly...... Well, after all, humans are high-level homeothermic animals with large food consumption~

Thinking about it, time passed slowly, and Xinglan had already made up her mind to lie down on this reef until she died, anyway, the speed of movement on the reef was much faster than that of the horseshoe crab that was difficult to float in the sea and could only crawl on the bottom of the sea......

The cranky Xinglan turned her head and met one eye.

An eye larger than the body of the tide horseshoe crab she now used, glowing in the shallow waters......

"Well, is it again?" Even though she knew that it was impossible for the other party to understand Chinese, and she couldn't speak standard Chinese in the water, Xinglan still opened her mouth habitually, "Little ones, come out to receive guests~"

This huge sea beast is 100 meters long, and its huge tail flapping in the water can even create a large whirlpool on the surface of the sea!

Even in this era of giant beasts, this giant beast that can be called the giant of the sea was named the Breathing Whale by Xinglan, just because its cry sounded like the sound of "Breathing ............

Huh? Why don't you say it's a "hee-......" sound? Hawkers, don't you think it sounds weird if it's called a whale?

Huh? You say that there should be no whales in this era, mammals that have degenerated into the ocean? Hawkers, it's just a name, so you don't have to worry about the details~ What's more, it's hard to say whether Lanxing will evolve that kind of whale~

Like most of the largest creatures, the whale is not brutal, but a very gentle creature that only feeds on small creatures.

At this time, it seems that it was hit by the current generated by the swimming whale that was larger than itself, and the reef trembled slightly, and then ......

Large swaths of small fish scurry out of the holes in the reef where they are hiding, scrambling for the whales that keep their side by side with the reef.

"It's starting again~Free service of mobile cleaning station~" During the journey of a few days of hitchhiking, first surprised, and then gradually calmed down, until now Xinglan, who was no longer strange, continued to lie on her ground, lazily watching the fish rush towards the whales.

Don't look at the different colors of these fish, basically there are any patterns, in fact, they should be the same species, but the colors are different.

This small fish with a small body and a mouth shaped like a sucker was named a sucker fish by Xinglan. The fish are so small that most predators have no interest in catching them, and small predators often have a headache with the dense pipes on the reef.

But this fish is important for a lot of fish, and even for the ecosystem as a whole. They are full-time cleaning fish.

Most fish swim in the ocean, inevitably infected with parasites and germs in the water, these tiny organisms multiply on the surface of the fish's skin, causing skin diseases and even death and large-scale plagues.

And you can't ask fish to wipe their bodies with their hands and wash their bodies with shower gel every day, just like humans?

That's when these sucker fish come in handy.

Every once in a while, some large creature will come looking for a swimming reef and approach it carefully, at which point the sucker fish will pour out of their nests from the reef where they live, and use their sucker-shaped mouths to adhere to the skin surface of these large fish to clean and satisfy their own food needs.

It's a win-win situation, as the reef acts as a mobile cleaning station in the ocean, providing shelter and transportation for the sucker fish, and the reef's sheer size is a prominent billboard. Because of this tacit understanding, the large fish that can destroy the reef will not use their own bodies to destroy the reef, but will enjoy these rare cleaning services. On the one hand, sucker fish have a safe place to live, on the other hand, they also have a stable source of food, and their metabolites provide rich nutrients for the microorganisms that make up the reef.

"Well, what an amazing symbiotic relationship this is~" Xinglan sighed, "This is already the third whale to visit......"

The cleaning service does not take much time, and the creatures that survive natural selection are all prioritized by efficiency, so there is no way to have the kind of passive slacking off of the civilized race cleaning station, not to mention that this is meal time for the sucker fish!

Unfortunately, although the whales are huge and have a lot of parasites that need to be cleaned, there are so many sucker fish that there are too many monks and too little porridge, and in just one minute, the surface of the whales is released into a "clean up (feed...... There are also many sucker fish shaking their heads to indicate that they are not full~

With a long cry of "......", the whale swam away with its tail in a leisurely shake, and the sucker fish returned to the reef one after another, expertly burrowing into the dense pipes on the surface of the reef, completely ignoring a certain tide horseshoe crab that was watching above.

"Well, it's really a simple day~ But how long can you last it?" Looking at the happily swimming fish, Xinglan felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, "I'm a little reluctant...... Forget it, you still have to wait for the calculation results to come out before you can decide whether to execute the ......"

"Judgment Day, ......"

"Xiao Cheng Xiao Cheng, can you hear me? If only you could still be by your side to encourage me now......" Xinglan sighed softly in her heart, "Sure enough, you are used to the days when you have people to communicate, so you can no longer bear the loneliness?" ”

Falling into a delusion again, Xinglan lay on the reef, and suddenly felt another vibration under her......

……

There's still no end, huh? Sucker fish are doing so well today?

Xinglan looked around suspiciously, but she didn't see any large fish approaching, but the vibration of the reef below her was getting stronger and stronger......

Something is wrong, what the hell is going on?

Sensing that something was wrong, Xinglan struggled to stand up, but before she could stand firm......

Click!

……

Ha...... What the hell is going on? Xinglan, who was slowly descending in the sea, looked up and saw that the place where she had just stood had been split in half, and the two reefs were running in opposite directions......

Because the reef is an irregular porous structure, these two reefs look like a complete reef, and the size is a little smaller at most...... Hmm, do you mean......

Well, it turns out that the way the population of the reef expands is this sudden split! I said that why didn't the sucker fish come out of such a violent vibration just now, it turned out that the reef had successfully split a group, and by the way, even the internal sucker fish school was equally divided, which is really gratifying...... It's weird, hey!

With a few waves of her paws, Xinglan, who was helpless to find that because the body structure of the tide horseshoe crab was not suitable for swimming, and she was completely unable to slow down the trend of falling to the bottom of the sea, she couldn't help but feel a faint sadness......

It's just a split, it cracked right where I was lying on my stomach, and then threw me down, what kind of fuss is it!

Watching the two reefs slowly disappear from sight, Xinglan, who was still in a state of falling, couldn't help but smile bitterly, wouldn't it just fall to the bottom of the sea?

Although I want to break this body, but I fall to death...... No, if you are in the ocean, you shouldn't fall to your death......

Hawkers,Although hitchhiking is great~

But will those who don't buy tickets really be kicked down?

Anyway, I just feel so aggrieved!

Grumbling helplessly, Xinglan continued to fall into the deep water......

Grunt......

……

What is this feeling of falling out of an airplane?

Because the carapace of the horseshoe crab is dense, and it does not have the perfect underwater movement of fish, it is a delusion to swim upwards except for the occasional jump and paddle twice.

However, the resistance of the sea is very large, which makes the acceleration of the fall extremely limited, so you have to wait patiently to fall to the bottom of the sea......

Finally, after a few minutes of falling, Xinglan suddenly felt that she had fallen on something and stopped.

Huh? Did you fall to the bottom of the sea? This feeling of thinness...... No, what is this thing?

Xinglan was surprised to find herself stopped in mid-air, blocked by something in her falling path.

After shaking violently a few times, Xinglan could see clearly what was blocking her through the reflection and shaking.

A kind of silver silk so small that it is almost invisible, but extremely tenacious, intertwined and twisted to form something like a web, which drifts with the waves in the water......

To make matters worse, because the horseshoe crab had sharp claws, after a few shakings, Xinglan found herself trapped in a web of silver threads, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became entangled, and she soon became completely unable to move.

Woo...... Dislike! What's going on with this weird bundle play!

Although it is said that the body of the tide horseshoe crab cannot have any subtle strange feelings because of the binding, it is very uncomfortable psychologically!

Sure enough, arthropods or something can't do anything about bondage! This is the conclusion that Xinglan has come to after hard work, even with the powerful computing power of signal tons, it is too difficult for a strong star to find a way to untie such a net that cannot be broken with sharp claws in the turbulent waters!

Suddenly, the web of silver threads began to move, and Xinglan realized that there was a long silver thread attached to the end of the net, leading to the depths of the sea.

At this moment, this net is gradually being pulled through by this silk thread......

The curiosity of novelty suddenly overcomes the shame of being tied up and toyed with (hey...... Xinglan even began to look forward to what would happen on the other side of the silk thread......

Fishing nets woven by intelligent beings? Or a sea spider that learns to weave a web in the water? Even some tentacles who like to catch animals and play with them...... Ahem.

In short, you will soon know the answer~

(The book friend group asks for people, and the book review area asks for people!) There is no movement at all in both places, what kind of trouble? Although there are not many of them, seeing that there are recommended tickets every day is really like a dream...... ）
